Hearts full of sorrow,

souls full of hope we look to the west

This project began as an experiment; moments at night when I had time when everyone else was sleeping and there was stillness. I would listen to classical music and dream, not of performing them but of eroding them into something new, to take the poetic meaning of them, the breathtaking gentle moments of harmonic change and breath life into them.

There became many such experiments and I gradually felt lost in them. I approached Craig to collaborate on finding a path and we decided to take the time to work on them for a while and then put them to the side. Unsure of what the music wished to say or how, years passed and we found ourselves reworking the original pieces again and again so that the original snippets from the works became a new language.

Out of these experiments, impossible to count how many versions or directions, we honed the four we are releasing on this album. All of these works are full of sorrow, they may be in major or minor, they may come from different context, but for us they all speak of farewells tinged with both hope and regret. For a time lost that can never be found again, with only a lingering memory of an emotion that grows weaker and fades as the days pass - e & i

the colour of sound

 'Ever since I was a child numbers and colors went side by side... I saw a number and it was transformed into an undulating pulsating hue of shimmering beauty...  It was an immediate emotional appearance, one that I could not control or explain. Gradually the same became of music...   Sounds as pieces began to shape into waves of colors, moving as waves in the sea. Sounds overlapping, shades of colors... All in my mind...     I could not explain them, nor describe them...  All I knew was to feel them and try to nurture them.. As they became the aura that surrounded the connection between music and my feelings... They only appeared when the music was intimate, small, shy and reclusive, when the music grew out of a place I could not control nor understand, when the music became my voice or when it blossomed in friendship...'
